Anyone tried to go no poo for washing hair?

Ny hair gets greasy very easily. Something I've look at is to go "no poo". Has anyone tried this? I am contemplating it for my health and also to save money on products that aren't very good for your health.

No Poo

I've not tried it but I do know from experience that my hair was less damaged, dry, frizzy after I stopped washing my hair every day, using heat to style and using products through my hair.... I now only wash it twice a week and use argan oil. My hair looks healthier, feels better. I've not yet worked up the courage to go completely no poo yet though.. I get really bad dandruff with a dry flaky scalp.. would no poo make it worse?>

Apparantley with no poo it's supposed to make it better because your scalp stays moisturised. With no poo, you wash your hair with baking soda and Apple Cider Vinegar. I've been trying it for a few days, let you know how it goes.

I've been using Timotei for the last 2 months and my hair has never been so gorgeous and thick and glossy and shiny, loads of people have complimented - try it, it's on offer in Asda for £1 at the moment, I stocked up yesterday - tried all sorts of good brands before and never had hair this fab!! Be patient though, it'll need a few washes. Also get the conditioner - which is £1 at the min too

I have suffered with a dry flakey scalp for about 8 years the only thing that clears it up in pregnancy! What shampoo do you use? My scalp was lovely up until I had my daughter 7 weeks ago, it went back to the usual state within days! Wish I could bottle whatever hormone it is that cures it! X

Explanation of "No Poo"

No poo is where you wash your hair only using natural cleaners/mixes. EWWWW! you may think, but washing with natural ingredients is better for your hair.
The main one is to use baking soda and Apple cider vinegar. The reason I've decided to give this a go is because my hair constantly looks very greasy. I have to wash it using normal shampoo nearly every day. It looks lank.So I've been researching this method.
You can wash hair using baking soda(BS) and apple cider vinegar (ACV) as a conditioner or lemon juice.

I have tried this once and already I have noticed the difference. My hair doesn't seem so greasy.
I have done a wash on my hair with a peppermint tea mixed with peppermint oil and lemon. This has made my hair so much softer and is helping the grease.I'm also finding I've not had to wash my hair so often.

Many of the shop brought shampoos have chemicals that are bad for your skin and hair. Look it up and try it and see. I've treated myself to some lovely essential oils to make my own natural shampooes.

That actually sounds really good! I am having a problem at the moment where the smell of shampoos are annoying me! I spend ages in the shampoo isle of the supermarket smelling them all till I find one i could actually use. I was loving timotei for ages there, cant stand it now. So im gonna be back to smelling them all when i go shopping tomoro to find another one to use
